This is necessary! My brother stood right in front of me in a shop the other day, indicating to the sales assistant that he wanted to talk to me. I politely asked if I could help him, not recognising him at all!

But I wasn't going to be caught again, so a few days later when I saw him nearby I shouted "Hey! Good morning!" . It wasn't him.
 

Thanks for sharing this @ARYANTO , very interesting

It's all very well to dismiss scary forecasts but our deaths are still ramping up with no signs yet of a plateau.

So while forecasts may suggest much lower deaths than originally anticipated, we actually don't know how this will pan out.

Lets just hope that the new death curve plateaus soon.

The tough part is that most of us now have "lockdown fatigue" so we just want to go out and socialise.

Be careful. Give it some time. That's just my view.
 
The second of the four penumbral lunar eclipses of 2020 is expected to occur on the intervening night of 5 and 6 June.

According to Time and Date, the lunar eclipse will be visible in much of Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, South/East South America, Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Ocean, and Antarctica.
Come , guys with your clever phones and big cameras , show us what you got .
No eclipse ,but few stars.

She'll do anything to keep the power that she has now. Such a sad little women, trying to stay relevant with all her illusions of grandeur...

She’s as mad as a hatter.

Two countries in the world have banned tobacco (one of them has the same population as a small city) due to the overwhelming evidence and her superior logic. She alone is right.

SMH.

Many thanks @ARYANTO
It is clear that the older people and those who have other health issues are most at risk

My wife and I each have such a parent still alive - ie older and with other health issues.
So we are hoping we can take all the necessary precautions to keep them safe without having to resort to isolating them fully. It would be a real pity if we had to do that.

We could just say screw it let’s take our chances, but another month or two or three of extra caution is not going to do us much harm in the longer run. We are both lucky that we can work from home though so we are in a lucky situation compared to many others.

If anyone is impatiently waiting for an overdue courier delivery, just hang in there. The couriers are extremely busy. In my area, TCG is delivering on Saturdays and Sundays just to try to keep up with the workload. Not only that, they're working until 8p.m. to get all the day's deliveries done. Something which I had ordered a week ago was finally delivered last night just before 8p.m.

I spoke to the office in Malmesbury and they said that what they're going through is far worse than Black Friday. The office staff start work at 7.30a.m. and go home only at about 10p.m., once all the trucks are in. They simply can't understand why it's so buys.

So hang in there, folks ...

In the middle of all this my bank account got cleaned out due to a series of fast online fraudulent transactions. Dozens of transactions in a 10 minute period.
Strangely enough not a single authentication or approval request came to my phone/ banking app.
But the messages showing the debits were all streaming in. So annoyed! And so broke now while they take their sweet time investigating :-(
